Catholic Health Partners, the parent company of Mercy Health, has adopted the Mercy Health name and will follow suit with all of its markets in Ohio and Kentucky.

The health system already operates as Mercy Health in Cincinnati, Toledo, Lorain, Springfield and Paducah, Ky. The parent company will now join them, along with markets in Lima and Youngstown.

Mercy Health operates more than 250 health facilities, including 23 hospitals, eight senior living communities, five hospice programs and seven home health agencies across its markets, for a total of $6 billion in assets, according to company spokeswoman Maureen Richmond.

The company announced last month that it will move from its headquarters in Mount Auburn and consolidate all of its regional offices at a new complex in Bond Hill. City leaders agreed to give the company $19.5 million in tax breaks to relocate there.

The name change is an "evolution to one unified team, focused on high-quality care, increased efficiencies and lower patient costs," according to a Thursday news release.
